Hi Shelly, PETA is the name of an organization. An organization endorses an activity when an agency member with appropriate authority endorses/ approves the activity. Look at this: “We are appalled if this actually happened,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said. “We would absolutely never condone this behavior.” I'm no fan of PETA but I would be careful in making allegations about persons/organizations and undesirable/illegal behavior. --Marshall |

In article ,
Marshall Lev Dermer wrote: I'm no fan of PETA but I would be careful in making allegations about persons/organizations and undesirable/illegal behavior. I'm with Marshall on this. I tend to suspect that PETA attracts wackos, but I don't think that the organization or the vast majority of people involved with it would condone murdering cats. Elsewise we'd have to accuse the Republican Party of the same thing, and while heaven knows they have a disproportionate share of problems there's no way they think that killing cats is a fine thing, despite their willingness to follow Bill Frist nearly anywhere. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - 43% of all private-sector jobs created in the US from 2001 to April 2005 are housing-related |
